The Ever Inappropriate .

Clear bra straps.

I need some help understanding these.
Victoria Secret always includes a set of clear bra straps with my VERYSEXYAngelCollectionPINKbiofitBodybyVictoria bra's*.

*there trendy names and marketing with Gisele's body make this necessity cost roughly as much as a down payment on a ford focus.

I have just never been in a situation where i thought an outfit could be bettered by the use of clear plastic jelly straps. One of my colleagues however, quietly advocates clear bra straps. This senseless accessory is involved with I am going to say 86% of her professional wardrobe. Today (literally at the water cooler) I began to ask myself "Just because something is clear does that make in invisible?" Maybe she is doing this for the benefit of those who are seeing her from outside of a 50 mile radius or the legally blind? Its like when you were in pre-K and for hide and seek you covered your own eyes?!? EVERYONE knows that you've had to jerry rig your breasts into a shirt that might I say is likely only appropriate at a venue where you need to have your hand stamped and show your drivers licence for admittance. I am also worried about the health implications of these contraptions. I find the plastic to usually cutting off circulation and I would not be surprised if on some tragic day this poor dears arms just ripped off at the shoulders?

In looking for answers I found the timeless lady Ms. Winehouse.

She was trying for casual chic with the wife beater but also didn't know what to do about the strap scenario. My guess is Ray Ray and Joe* suggested this teal and black alternative.

I do realize there are (other) big problems in the world- but women are silently screaming for help here. Does our post rehab friend have it right?

Lord bless us and save us.
